Sorry to Commander Shepard, but this is my favorite Mass Effect game on the citadel. Your mileage may vary on the colonization premise, but the gameplay is the most fully evolved of the series. Biotic powers feel exactly like playing a telekinetic should. While the original trilogy still has my favorite teammates, the crew in Andromeda feels like a close group of friends by the end, where I don't feel like the found family aspect of the crew didn't really hit until the 3rd game. All the characters, even minor crew members feel fleshed out and engaging. It is a patched in romance option, but M!Ryder/Jaal is my favorite gay romance of the series. I hope Bioware gets back to this level of writing soon.
